Store Compass Connector

Description

Store Compass Connector is the official WooCommerce connector for Store Compass, a commerce
decision-support service developed and operated by Digitribe Media.

The connector adds Store Compass entry points to wp-admin and securely connects an authorized
WooCommerce store to the hosted Store Compass service. Store Compass performs the commerce
analysis, evidence evaluation, weekly recommendations, action guidance, recommendation history,
and outcome measurement on its hosted service.

Once connected, Store Compass menu items in wp-admin securely open the corresponding hosted Store
Compass dashboard view. The plugin also displays connection status and can display the current
weekly recommendation in WordPress admin when that data is available from the service.

What this plugin does

• Adds Store Compass navigation to wp-admin – Home, Weekly Brief, Actions, Results, Weekly History,
  and Settings.
• Uses WooCommerce’s built-in application authorization screen. The merchant reviews and approves
  read-only access in their own WordPress admin; Store Compass never receives the WordPress
  administrator password.
• Connects to the hosted Store Compass service to retrieve connection status, recommendations, and
  secure dashboard access.
• Keeps storefront pages untouched: the connector registers no Store Compass scripts or styles on
  customer-facing pages.

Local data stored by this plugin

The WordPress plugin stores one plugin-generated connection token in wp_options and a short-lived
connection-status transient. It does not store WooCommerce orders, products, billing details,
shipping details, or customer records in the WordPress plugin itself.

External services

Store Compass Connector relies on the Store Compass hosted service operated by Digitribe Media.
The hosted service is required for the connector’s core functionality; the recommendation engine
and merchant dashboard do not run locally inside this WordPress plugin.

Data sent directly by the WordPress connector

When an authorized administrator opens Store Compass in wp-admin, the connector may send the
site hostname and its plugin-generated connection token to the Store Compass status API. The raw
plugin token is sent only in an Authorization header; Store Compass stores only a SHA-256 hash of
that plugin token.

When an administrator starts or regenerates a connection, the connector sends the site’s URL and
a SHA-256 hash of its plugin token to the Store Compass connection flow. The merchant is then
redirected to WooCommerce’s own authorization screen.

When a connected merchant opens a Store Compass dashboard section, the plugin retrieves a signed
dashboard link from Store Compass and redirects the administrator to the corresponding hosted
Store Compass dashboard view.

WooCommerce data accessed by the Store Compass hosted service

If the merchant approves WooCommerce’s authorization screen, WooCommerce sends Store Compass a
read-only Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Store Compass verifies those credentials and uses them
to read the WooCommerce REST API resources needed for decision support.

The current integration reads WooCommerce orders and products. Store Compass uses commerce fields
such as order identifiers, statuses, dates, currency, order totals, discounts, line-item counts,
product names, product status, categories, descriptions, images, SKU, price, and stock quantity to
calculate commerce metrics and recommendations.

WooCommerce order API responses can include billing, shipping and other customer-identifying
information by default. Store Compass deliberately excludes customer names, billing and shipping
addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, customer IDs and customer IP addresses from its
canonical decision data and does not create per-customer records for recommendation processing.

Store Compass does not automatically change products, orders, prices, inventory or other store
settings through this WooCommerce connection. The WooCommerce authorization scope is read-only.
